Neuvirth will start Thursday in Brooklyn.

Neuvirth allowed three goals on 25 shots in the Flyers over time over the Red Wings last night. It wasn’t an overly impressive evening, but it was enough to earn him a start again tonight. Neuvirth has won two in a row, but has allowed three goals in each start and is a risky option tonight in Brooklyn on no rest.

Neuvirth will start Wednesday vs. the Red Wings.

Neuvirth allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Flyers’ win in Carolina on Sunday. It was just his second win of the year and Neuvirth has not been off to a good start. The Czech netminder has a 3.84 GAA and .861 SV%, but Steve Mason is basically in the same boat, which is why Neuvirth will start tonight. He has strong matchup against a Red Wings team that hasn’t won in Philadelphia since 1996-97.

Neuvirth allowed two goals on 25 shots in the Flyers’ season opening win in Los Angeles last Friday. Steve Mason underwhelmed in his first start on Saturday, so the Flyers will go back to Neuvirth tonight in Chicago.

Neuvirth will start the Flyers season opener in Los Angeles.

Neuvirth played very well during the 2015-16 season, winning 18 of his 32 games while posting a 2.27 GAA and .924 SV%. He outplayed starter Steve Mason, but played 22 fewer games. The Flyers start the 2016-17 season with a back-to-back, so Neuvirth will go tonight with Mason playing tomorrow in Arizona. Neuvirth makes for a nice start as he takes on a Kings team who is without Tanner Perason and goaltender Jonathan Quick.

Neuvirth (knee) returned as the backup on Thursday.

Neuvirth has been sidelined with a knee injury since March 16th, but backed-up Steve Mason on Thursday. This leaves the Flyers in a bit of a difficult spot. Who to start in a must-win game on Saturday? Steve Mason has played very well with Neuvirth out, but is coming off of a loss to the Maple Leafs on Saturday. Expect Neuvirth to start either Saturday or Sunday though.
